Barbarian Mine

Harlow receives the shock of her life when she wakes up to see Rukh, a stranger who has clearly been on his own for most of his life, but she soon learns that there is much more to this gruff savage than meets the eye.

The ice planet has given me a new lease on life, so I'm thrilled to be here. Sure, there are no cheeseburgers, but I'm healthy and ready to be a productive member of the small tribe. What I didn't anticipate? That there'd be a savage stranger waiting nearby, watching me. And when he takes me captive, the unthinkable happens: I resonate to him.

Resonance means mating an children. . . but I don't know if this guy's ever been around anyone before. Rukh is utterly wild. He's completely uncivilized, can't speak more than a few words, and doesn't know what clothes are. A human—a human woman—is mystifying to him. He's truly a barbarian in all ways, and like Tarzan in the stories, he's kidnapped me and claimed me for his own.

Being with him means I'm going to have to teach him how to speak, how to kiss, and how to be human—or even alien. It should be a terrifying prospect. . . so why is it that I crave his touch and hunger for more?
